A simple and facile synthesis of 14-aryl and alkyl-14H-dibenzo[a,j]xanthenes and 1,8-dioxooctahydroxanthene derivatives has been successfully developed by treatment ofβ-naphthol or dimedone with aldehydes under mild conditions in the presence of a pentafluorophenyl ammonium triflate (PFPAT) organocatalyst.These catalytic condensation reactions represent green chemical processes and the PFPAT organocatalyst is air-stable,cost-effective,easy to handle,and easily removed from the reaction mixtures.
